Network Latency Calculator and Formula
Advertisement
This page provides a network latency calculator to help you determine network latency. The calculator takes into account propagation delay and serialization delay for its calculation. The network latency formula used in the calculator is also explained below.
Network Latency Calculator
This calculator helps estimate network latency based on propagation and serialization delays.
EXAMPLE
INPUTS:
- Distance (Source to Destination) = 5458 Km
- Transmission medium speed (e.g., copper) = 197863.022 m/s
- Packet Size = 1500 bytes
- Data transmission rate = 56 KBPS
OUTPUTS:
- Propagation delay = 27.58 ms
- Serialization delay = 214.28 ms
- Network Latency = 241.87 ms
Network Latency Formula
The following formula is used to calculate network latency:
